With all the dragging to go along with some action in the second half of season three of “Sons of Anarchy,” it is fair to say that the show was saved tremendously with story lines being patched up well, to go along with a satisfying finale.

However, there was disappointment as well as angst headed towards the finale of this gripping show. At times throughout the season, several subplots dragged most of the way. Unlike the beginning of the season, where there were several episodes that put the foot on the gas, and had nonstop action, the second half of “Sons of Anarchy” just didn’t have that feel. But when all was said and done and the season reached its climax, the show picked up and you were on the edge of your seat again, just like you were used to from watching this show.

As the Son’s were in Belfast trying to get back Abel, there were a few obstacles in which they had to overcome. One of which was to track down Jimmy O, who was the man that took Abel from the original kidnapper, Cameron Hayes. When Jax [Hunnam] tracks down Jimmy, they make a deal, and Abel goes back to his father. When Jax came to Belfast and got his son back, there was an unfortunate incident that happens back home in Charming, involving the kidnapping of his girlfriend Tara [Siff]. This concerns Jax even more because he recently finds out from Gemma that Tara is pregnant. Although the anticipation of the Sons being in Belfast did not quite live up to the hype because of the limited action, and constant drag, let’s just say that the subplot involving Tara was the jolt the season needed.

Jax and Agent Staal [Walker] have an interesting situation going on as well. Jax has made deal with Staal by giving her a statement that guarantees Gemma [Segal] does not go to jail, in exchange for him bringing back Jimmy O alive and turning him to the ATF. When all is said and done, you find out what kind of person Staal is, and you find out how smart the Sons are, considering what they pull off in the end.

As for Kurt Sutter, the writer and creator of “Sons of Anarchy,” he definitely saved the best for last, ultimately leaving you somewhat satisfied in spite of a mediocre season.
